I just tried adjusting some settings though both, testing after each 
change, yet I can still hear no sound through the laptop speakers.

aplay -l only lists one playback device, so I'm not sure what else I 
could attempt to play sound with.

I used a .wav file, found at /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav yet I hear 
no noise, with any of the .wav files found in /usr/share/sounds/alsa/

Thanks Rob.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
